#R:houti:-23100:uiucdcs:10400055:000:407 uiucdcs!miller Mar 15 01:20:00 1983 There is a chain of stores in this area (central Illinois) that put an ad in our Sunday paper selling the c64 for $399. I don't know how far this chain extends. Rumor has it that the price will soon be less than that (maybe $350?) in a couple of months. Oops, almost forgot, the store name on the ad was Target. For the price, I don't think anyone can come close to matching what commodore is selling...

They are in the process of becoming a national chain but are mostly centered in the Midwest right now (I believe). (Dayton is of the family of Mark Dayton, famous for spending $7,000,000+ of his own money last fall to try to be a Minnesota senator...but he lost)
